Abstract

We have implemented the GWGW+dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) approach in the Vienna ab initio simulation package. Employing the interaction values obtained from the locally unscreened random phase approximation (RPA), we compare GWGW+DMFT and LDA+DMFT against each other and against experiment for SrVO3_3. We observed a partial compensation of stronger electronic correlations due to the reduced GWGW bandwidth and weaker correlations due to a larger screening of the RPA interaction, so that the obtained spectra are quite similar and well agree with experiment. Noteworthily, the GWGW+DMFT better reproduces the position of the lower Hubbard side band.
